Will Pope Francis stick to his guns or to pillows?

The New York Times
commented that after decades of vatican indifference and evasion, Pope Francis has
created a commission to study the rape and intimidation of schoolchildren by
priests. The new commission, “long overdue”, says the Times, will come up with
specific recommendations for firmer safeguarding of schoolchildren and better
training of catholic priests. Francis
had to do something after vatican officials refused to answer the United Nations Committee on the Rights of
the Child on how the church handled
the scandal – the church of course had blamed the bishops and local criminal justice authorities.

The vatican has created
commissions before to look at child abuse by clergy, but so far they have only
tried to cover up or protect their criminals. One study panel created more than a decade ago
reported on the abuse of schoolchildren in the U.S., a scandal in which 700
priests had to be dismissed in a three-year period. Although they recommend
that "there must be consequences" for church leaders who shielded
offending priests there was no way decided on how to make powerful diocesan
offenders accountable so only a few leaders faced criminal investigation.

This latest attempt offers
no assurance to parents that Francis will order greater accountability from
those who covered up criminal abuse of children. It is also missing the rest of
the iceberg:the abuse that took or
takes place in catholic “homes” for orphaned and neglected children – most of it done by nuns.
And they did more than just rape and beat children.The Dominican nuns at St. Agnes Home in
Sparkill, NY smothered me and put me in a coma. Gilbert Bonneau was also smothered (with a witness) with
a pillow like I was -- by a nun at St. Colman’s home in Watervliet, NY. He was in a coma and died. See post of July 30, 2013: Catholic nuns do more than abuse children:
they murder them. But I lived.

The reason I lived
is to share this information with you and with everyone. Gilbert’s family is
still fighting.His brother Bill recently
said to me: “Keep up the fight (George) you are doing a great job exposing the
Evil Catholic Church and their phony Priest, Nuns, Brothers Etc. People are
catching on. They did a job on you and the Nuns killed my brother, I will keep
on fighting until my last breath to get justice for Gilbert. Sooner or later
the truth will come out. Hang in there. Bill”Like Bill, we need to keep revealing the truth to the world so they won’t
forget Gilbert and the thousands like him who died in silence.

About Me

When I was three and a half years old, I and my five year
old brother Frankie were raped by a catholic priest and put in St. Agnes Home and School in Sparkill, NY. I was beaten every day and then smothered by a catholic
nun. I didn't die but I was in a coma for almost year, leaving me brain damaged. After we got out, my
brother killed himself because he couldn't help me or accept the abuse we received. I want everyone to know
about the brutality and crime then and still going on in the catholic church. I want to stop
the crimes the church commits against our children and us and get justice for the victims. Give me your ideas
so that we all succeed in making this world safer for our children.
